Got an 03 Cobra Rad, or should I hold out for a Fluidyne??

A buddy of mine just gave me the stock radiator out of his 03 Cobra, which is the same radiator that FRPP sells as a performance upgrade radiator. It is all aluminum and I think I can make it fit.

Just wondering if it would be wise to go this route or to save up some sheckles and get a Fluidyne.

Why even ask? You've already got it, it's a freebie ... make it work! If you can't rig it up to fit in any way at all - which I doubt, since it's pretty easy to fit just about any radiator in a Fox, if you're using an electric fan - then just plop in your original and then look into a Fluidyne. You'll be out, what, a few hours' time and not much else...?

You could always just give it to me, of course, if you don't want it...

I should have clarified a little more. I am planning on some serious mods this winter (Thumper ported heads, Kenne Bell 2.2, water methenal injection, and a few extras), and am wondering if with the mods I am planning if I would be better suited with a Fluidyne or if this Cobra rad will do the job. I do have a full time 60gpm electric water pump and a Mark VIII e-fan w/ DCC.

It seems to do fine for 700hp cobras. I dont see why it wouldn't cool your engine.

Good point, didn't even think about it that way.
